The first time I played I went all in on trying to help build up Stan and show Louise that he isn't as bad as she thought. Even tho I took hits to the relationship with Louise I was showing that she was possibly being too hard on him like when she blamed him for Lola taking her panties. It looked like my actions were being rewarded because Louise said she was willing to give him a chance and when you two go in his room and find him jacking to naked pics of Lena and I was pissed. Not only did I get locked out of one the few women Lena can get with, Louise was proven to be right that Stan was a massive creep this whole time and I was disappointed that someone I spent time trying to help let me down so hard. After that i did a play through where I followed Louise's hate of him.
Years later Ive started playing again with the walk through so now I can have Lena get with Louise while helping Stan. (I'm the type of person who likes to uplift characters with self esteem issues.)
As much as I don't like Stan, I absolutely abhor Louise. In high school, I knew too many people who were just like Louise; judgemental bitches who like to create drama out of nothing. And it certainly doesn't help that she's clingy as fuck. If Jeremy wasn't such a dickweed, I'd almost feel sorry he had to put up with such a needy crybaby. In my playthroughs, I actively go out of my way to make sure Lena and Louise's relationship is at 0 by any means necessary. Just so Lena can tell her to fuck off in chapter 10.
Stan isn't any better either. Boy is a fucking incel. Why are you trying to ask out a girl who's way out of your league? Especially when she's already got a boyfriend? I can't remember who, but I think I recall someone in this thread referring to Stan as a "waste of oxygen", and I'm kind of inclined to agree.
I'm honestly praying Lena will be given the option to kick both Louise and Stan out of the apartment. They're both garbage characters who contribute nothing other than "I need Lena to myself because I'm lonely and no one likes me". It's one thing trying to uplift people with low self esteem, and I can understand why some would want to do that, but when it becomes insufferable, many (myself included) would say enough is enough.
